I have inadvertently bobbed my hair

A bob can be lovely, but not on me with a big round face and frizzy wayward hair. It'll grow, I hope. In the olden-days when there were hairdressers I used to have shoulder-length hair and the wayward-ness sort of resembled waves and curls, but at this length it just looks untidy. It is at least a long bob, below the earlobes but above the shoulders, and it grows quickly so by the time we can go out in public again it should be long enough.

I'm currently growing out a curtain fringe that for some ridiculous reason I decided would look great one night at midnight. No alcohol was involved which makes it worse. I did the twist method but cut it too too wide and the wider bits flicked out no matter how much I flattened them. It was like a handlebar moustache stuck to my forehead! Its just at the point where I can get the longer bits behind my ears now. I'm never doing it again. I've told dh to hide the haircut scissors and to not let me have them late at night Blush

I was bored during the first lockdown and cut off my long hair off with nail scissors using the 'unicorn' method. Aargh, looked like a granny with a 70s layer cut. I had a fringe for the first time in 30 years! After the initial shock I straightened it and actually love it. I have repeated the cut three times now!

I’m just about to let DH colour my hair. Send good thoughts.

If anyone is looking for super buzz short inspiration. Have a look at Charlene of Monoco. She’s buzzed half her head and bloody good it looks too.

Me too!
My neighbour says I look like Joan of Arc.

Apparently mine resembles Darth Vader's helmet (thanks son) Confused

Lego man's hair for me (according to DS)

I have grown a mullet. Not only is it now a mullet but the bits at my ears and at the sides of my neck are forming wings. I am rocking the 80s. Either that or have the look of an Always sanitary towel.

Oh God.

I was wide awake at 4am trying to brush the matts out of my hair, and chopped the entire thing of with kitchen scissors.

Went from nipple length to just above chin length.

Just before lockdown in November I had a technically good haircut but I hated it so much I'd look in the mirror and cry. It was supposed to be like a short shaggy bob but the hairdresser improvised and took more off than I wanted, and it looked like a whispy slightly grown out pixie. Thankfully it's been hat weather recently so I could cover it up! I'm only just OK with it now, 16 weeks later! 😠 The combination of "lounge wear", weight gain, no make-up, and a haircut I hated was really shit 😢 Still, at least my hair will grow and the lockdown blub will go, so could be worse.

Hair done. It’s fabulous. Now wondering why I’ve spent years paying hundreds in the salon when I had a hairdresser at home. Hmm I’m half tempted to let him cut it now.

I have had a good giggle this morning.

Don't you find that when you have had a crappy cut it takes bloody forever to grow out, but when its perfect it grows out in what seems like a week. Or is that just me?
